I loved all the books you refer to, except Red Rising. While the set up was good, the background motivation seems plastered over after the fact (even if it’s the first chapters) and felt weakened at every step. The writing wasn’t compelling. If you want something in the recent YA, I would recommend The Hunger Games. Particularly the first and last books.
